  Hi there – That user is using the Oxygen theme, which shows excerpts and featured images on the front page:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/

  You can do something similar with Profile:

  Just use the More tag where you want the excerpt to end, as described here:

  Then make sure to select a Featured Image for each post:

  Let me know if you have further questions!
